Christine Malossi(She/Her/Hers)

As a therapist, yoga/meditation teacher, and hospice volunteer based in Manhattan, Christine has worked with people across the spectrum of age, race, gender, and sexual orientation, dealing with a wide range of issues. She's particularly interested in working with adults who are struggling with identity, relationship, and body image issues; undergoing life transitions, grief/loss, or chronic/terminal illness; or exploring their spirituality or experiencing existential crises. Her approach to therapy is psychodynamic, somatic (body-centered), mindfulness-based, and strongly influenced by Jungian psychology, which she is currently studying at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich, Switzerland. She weaves together this variety of modalities to meet the unique needs of each client with whom she works.

Through decades of study and personal experience of depth psychology, yoga, meditation, and dance, Christine has come to understand that our bodies provide a doorway into the unconscious. You can learn to access this doorway by using your sessions with her as an opportunity to slow down and develop a deeper awareness of your body and mind, and how both are impacted by your experiences, memories, thoughts, and feelings. This awareness enables you to tap into a well of inner wisdom, which can lead to transformative insight and meaningful, lasting change.

Christine has an MSEd in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College, as well as a BA from New York University. She completed post-baccalaureate studies at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as more than 1,000 hours of training and 13 years of professional experience as a certified yoga and meditation teacher.

Christine provides sessions online or in-person at Union Square Psychotherapy. For those who would like to get a sense of what it’s like to work with her, she offers a free 15-minute initial phone consultation.
